Summer School opening

1st Course: “3D Laser scanner application” had the following mission: “To save Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage buildings”. The aim of the course was to develop theoretical knowledge and practical skills in use of terrestrial Laser Scanning techniques for 3D building modelling. After successful completion, course participants gained knowledge about concepts, working principles and different applications of Laser Scanner and are able to apply laser scanner to various engineering problems and perform data processing techniques. Field work and data collection: TIIM campus for Laser Scanner testing, Pilot work and data acquisition – Madrasah of Barak-Khan is one of few architectural monuments on the territory of Hast Imam Square (Hazrati Imam) located in Tashkent city. Used software: Trimble Real Works software. Lead trainers: Utkir Shermanov (TIIM, Uzbekistan) and Milan Horemuz (KTH, Sweden).
